TITLE OF SLIDE: RECOMMENDED FONT SIZE 40, BOLD

AUTHORS: RECOMMENDED FONT SIZE 36DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION: RECOMMENDED FONT SIZE 36

This is a text box.

Generally, you want your text to be a minimum of an 18 pt font, and you can go as high as 24. In some cases, higher font sizes are acceptable.

As far as spacing is concerned, single blank lines between sections marked by Headers (e.g., “Introduction”) are generally appropriate. To create greater distinction between your sections, consider putting them in Bold.

This text box will automatically resize to accommodate any amount of text. It will not, however, start any overflow in the next column: you will have to do that manually.

If you want to include a diagram in this (or any) column, I recommend that you simply paste the images or tables over this text box and leave blank lines. Doing this, rather than starting a new text box, will insure that your text lines up both above and below your image.

You may change the size of the text boxes if desired, but they are designed to be evenly spaced across the poster. Do not place any text outside of the blue border! You may edit the border if desired, but it represents the edge of the printing field. Editing the border DOES NOT change the printing field, and anything placed outside the blue border as it currently is may not print correctly.

This Powerpoint slide is set to print a poster that is 48 inches (four feet) long and 42 inches tall. Due to the limitations of Powerpoint, it was necessary to halve all of the print margin values. Therefore, to see the actual text size as it will appear on your poster, set the Zoom to 200% in the bottom left hand corner. Your text should be EASILY readable when standing at least six feet from your monitor. If it is not, your text is definitely too small!
